It is worth mentioning that the Stan Planet students participating in the challenge this time are basically children from middle class to second grade. Although they are young, they are very attentive to this challenge.

The atmosphere at the branch meeting was tense and time was tight, but the young contestants built robots, wrote programs, and debugged... They performed the whole process in an orderly manner, and worked with their teammates to complete the task focused and efficiently.

The confidence, focus and all-out effort shown by the children in the challenge reminds people of the educational significance that Botball International Educational Robot Conference hoped to bring to everyone when it was first established:

When things don't work out, you have to go back and figure out why it didn't work out. Junior Botball Challenge develops children's problem-solving confidence. Children tend to view problem solving with a more open perspective.

The Junior Botball Challenge is significantly different from other competitive robot challenges.

The projects of the Botball primary school group are set up with the goal of completing tasks, allowing children to solve a practical problem close to life with limited resources, and do not focus on direct competition with other teams.

For example, in the Enlightenment Level A "Emergency Evacuation" challenge, players are required to use a limited number of building blocks to build evacuation platforms, transmission tracks, and escape fences, and move the protection warehouse to the designated location to complete the challenge task. .

Enlightenment Level B "Super Engineer" Challenge requires players to use electric small particle equipment to build a mechanical grabbing structure on site. By moving the prop cup to the designated position and completing the stacking, the challenge task is completed. .

Such a project setting is easy to get started and easy to use, which greatly weakens the competitive characteristics, while emphasizes the examination and training of children's actual abilities, focusing on the cultivation and improvement of their comprehensive abilities.

Whether it is in the present or in the long run, participating in the Botball International Educational Robot Conference will be helpful to the growth of children.

In the process of practicing and participating in challenges, children can not only build up their interest and confidence in robots, but also constantly test their learning and exercise abilities, and break through themselves little by little.

This is also a learning and exchange trip that enhances communication and broadens children's horizons through participating in competitions!

Botball International Educational Robot Conference

Botball International Educational Robot Conference (hereinafter referred to as Botball) is a youth team robotics activity originated from MIT.

Botball helps more than 10,000 students each year achieve excellence in fields such as science, technology, mathematics and engineering. At present, teams from more than ten countries including Austria, China, Egypt, and India have participated in the Botball International Robot Challenge (information comes from Botball official).

Part.1 has great influence

As one of the important activities in the Global Educational Robot Conference, Botball’s influence covers all parts of the world, and now has three overseas regions: Europe, Arabia and Asia.

At the same timeBecause of its strong international influence, Botball has received many sponsorships. Including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Science Foundation (NSF), iRobot, the University of Oklahoma and many other important companies and institutions in the fields of science and technology education and robotics.

Part.2 MIT official website recommendation

Botball has a history of more than 20 years. is one of the projects recommended by the admissions offices of many excellent universities in the United States.

For exampleMIT’s official website lists Botball as a “robot activity recommended for students before applying to MIT”. It is also listed alongside VEX. Its gold content is self-evident. Botball’s participation and competitive results It can increase the chances of admission to overseas universities such as MIT.

Part.3 National media reports, widespread attention from all walks of life

Botball, an international robot activity, has also attracted much attention after entering China. Many zhiming media have reported on it. CCTV10 has followed and reported on the Botball World Championship, and Science and Technology Daily and China Science and Technology Network have broadcast the national finals live.

Finally, let us once again congratulate the students who won the awards in the Asian branch of the 2023 Botball International Educational Robot Conference. Breaking through themselves along the way is not only experience, but also a valuable asset for growth!
